Subscription

I am a Forward subscriber. Do I have to pay to read articles on Forward.com?
Not at all. Your print subscription now includes a bonus!  As a loyal subscriber, you get full access to the Forward.com website.  All you need to do is register at Forward.com/register. Once you register online, your Forward.com subscription will be activated automatically. You may not even notice any changes to the website because you will have full access. And of course you’ll still get the Forward by mail. 

I’m not currently a subscriber. How can I subscribe?
Subscribing is quick and easy. A Forward subscription is now All Access: It includes the print edition, unlimited access to the Forward.com website from any device, and access to the tablet edition. Click here for subscription options.

Why did the Forward change from a weekly newspaper to a monthly magazine? Because our audience has asked for changes.

You probably know that more people, including many Forward readers, are getting their news online. Because they spend so much time on our website, readers started asking about a new approach to print. They wanted to see different kinds of stories in print from what they were seeing online.

A magazine is the best way to deliver the kind of award-winning journalism you love in the Forward. It provides the same thorough, thoughtful storytelling that you’ve come to expect from the Forward, but in a beautiful format that showcases our extensive, high-caliber reporting. It also offers a different point of view — and a different experience from what you get online.

We’ll run more in-depth stories, feature more beautiful photos and illustrations, more profiles of people you care about, and more coverage on issues you care about.

If you are already a subscriber, you don’t have to do anything to receive the magazine.

If you are not a subscriber and would like to subscribe, please visit Forward.com/subscribe.

What is the cancellation and refund policy?

I’m not currently a subscriber. What kind of content counts toward my monthly limit?
Visits to the Forward.com home page and other select content will be available free of charge. Full articles, opinion pieces, Fast Forward, photo galleries, and other features all count toward the monthly limit of free articles.

What is the difference between Forward.com and the tablet edition of the Forward?
Forward.com provides you with access to stories, videos, photo galleries and more by our award-winning team of journalists - news and features that are updated daily from the US, Israel, and the world - available from any computer or web-enabled device.

The tablet edition is a page-by-page replica of the printed edition - including all stories, sections, photos and ads - in PDF form. The tablet edition also translates into other languages and allows you to magnify for easier reading and share articles with friends. Through the tablet edition, you get access to back issues all the way to 2009.

How can I access the tablet edition?
- Click here for the Forward tablet edition: http://forward.pressreader.com. Add this link to your Favorites or bookmark the page for easy reference.
- Next, click on “Sign in” in the top-right portion of the page. Log in using your email address for the username and “password” for the default password. To change your password simply go to “Manage Account,” under your name at the top right corner and Edit your password under the Account Info section.
- You may also manage email notification preferences by clicking on the three bars at the top left of the page, then clicking on Email Alerts.
- To see back issues, click on the calendar at the top center of the page. Issue dates appear in bold. You can read back issues from 2009 to the present.
- Another feature of the tablet edition is the ability to search for keywords, articles, and authors. Click “Advanced Search” to change the date range, which defaults to the current issue only.

When I go on vacation, can I put my subscription on hold?
You may put your subscription on a temporary hold so that the print edition is not delivered when you are not there. Your subscription will then be extended by the amount of time your subscription is on hold. However, if you do this, your unlimited access to Forward.com will also be suspended.

Another option is to simply cancel delivery of the print edition while you are out of town, but continue the digital parts of your subscription. Your subscription would be changed to “digital only” for the time you are away, and you can enjoy keeping up with all the news. You could also read the tablet edition during this time, which is like reading the print edition on your computer. If you choose this option, your subscription expire date would not change.

To put your subscription on hold or switch to digital only, call Customer Service.
